It is with deep sadness we announce that Dr. MatthewMireles, president of the Rice University - Texas Medical Center Chapter of Sigma Xi,
passed away on August 31, 2013, after a long battle with
metastatic colorectal cancer. His journey peacefully ended, and a humble
life, well-considered, was quietly extinguished. He will be greatly missed.
